There are several computers in the 744, including a multifunction FMC (Flight Management Computer) and a Flight Control Computer (FCC) that controls the autopilot.

The CDU (Control Display Unit) that is the Pilots' interface to the FMC, as well as the various computers in the various aircraft, may be called different things and have slightly different modes of operation, but they all perform the same basic functions.
